Future Technology NOW
Video clip shows a mid-1960s imagining of what technology would be like in the year 1999. The video clip shown above — an excerpt from a 1967 Philco-Ford production entitled "Year 1999 AD," starring a young Wink Martindale — did a fairly good job of anticipating some ways (if not the specific forms) in which technology might be used in daily life more than three decades in the future. Concepts such as "fingertip shopping," an "electronic correspondence machine," and others envisioned in this video anticipate several innovations that became commonplace within a few years of 1999: e-commerce, webcams, online bill payment and tax filing, electronic funds transfers (EFT), home-based laser printers, and e-mail.
